April 6th: Declared for
Nottingham 5f Maiden |
Retained for cheap price at cheaper Doncaster sales.
First runner for first season sire who himself only cost 2.8k gns at the
sales. He has an 'all speed' pedigree and was a tough sprint 2yo although
below pattern race class. He developed over a long career to win a Group
2 6f sprint at 6yo.
However he has a moderate pedigree and none of his siblings had rated over
70 and his latest half-brother sold for 1.5k gns at the 2004 sales.
B2yoR reviewed three of his 2yos at the sales that sold for more than this
one and they looked limited early sprinters.
Dam was a poor 10f seller winner. She has produced low quality runners
with 5 previous foals.
The trainer regularly uses this race or its equivalent to run his best
2yo in. However, he has made a fast start to 2005 and has already had 5
debut winners and has presumably shown us his best 2yos.
However, the trainer's runners are clearly well ahead on readiness on debut
to any other trainer's 2yos so far in 2005.
Trainer runs two in the race for the same owner-breeder and this is first
string on jockeys.
In summary a poor pedigree promising a 60s sprinter at best. However, the
form of the trainer and the readiness of his 2yos in 2005 suggest he may
be able to give us his best on debut. Profile [64]

Post Race |
Was steady at 3/1f and his trainer has his runners very ready in early
season in 2005. Ran reasonably close to the pace in a race where the pacemakers
finished towards the rear and did best of those closer to the pace. Was
left in the lead briefly as the pacemakers stalled but only plugged on
in a slow race. Was out-stayed by Ace Baby and picked up late by his second
string stablemate Thomas Of Bathwick who had been in rear and never got
into the race. Some promise but level of form was so low it is difficult
to work up enthusiasm. Estimate [52]

April 23rd: Leicester
5f Maiden |
The form of the unplaced runners from the race he made his debut in has
suggested that was a poor to moderate race.
The trainer has had his runners very ready on debut in 2005 and has only
had two STO runs which have given mixed signals over how much improvement
to expect. In summary expect ok improvement given that he may have run
too close to the pace on debut but from a low base. Profile [62]

Post Race |
Fittest in the group by some way on his second run. Smaller and below average
build compared to the group overall. Good mover. Disappointing here but
ought to be able to rate mid-60s. Rated 67.
The trainer has had his 2yos readier than any trainer in 2005 and this
runner much fitter than the others on his second outing. The form of his
debut run looked poor and he did not improve here.
Steady at 9/2 2nd favourite in a market with no clues. Made a solid
but usable pace to before 1 furlong from home and faded tamely from there
(although slightly hampered). Inclined to the view that although he underperformed
he's probably limited and will need a drop in grade to win. Estimate

May 6th: Lingfield
5f Maiden |
Ran poorly in a muddling race last time and a poor fade after making the
pace. Did not stand out in that group and looked likely to be limited to
mid-60s form. Profile [64]

May 23rd: Windsor
5f Novice |
12/1 at Lingfield and had no chance with a useful winner but produced a
better effort. Tracked the winner by just over a length at halfway and
was outpaced by him inside 2f out (as were the rest of the field. Plugged
on to keep second. Estimate [64]
Trainer's later debuts in 2005 have not produced a winner and runners do
not tend to show much improvement after STO unless for increased distance
later in the season. Sticks at 5f and have probably seen what he is capable
of. Profile [65 + 7 = 72]
